| For me, response is also closely tied to how focused a horn feels, but yeah, how fast and easily does the note speak. Again, it seems to be directly related to how dead center the horn feels when you play it - it's like everything is lined up right for perfect resonance.
I have always thought that rose brass and copper belled horns responded really quickly, and I'm not sure why. In my recent memory, to of the fastest and best responding trumpets I have played were a rose brass belled Conn V1, and my current axe, my Schilke B6.
